Built to scale with organizations as their risk and compliance needs change
Resolver is purpose-built with a suite of GRC capabilities The platform delivers a no-code, integrated GRC solution covering ERM, regulatory compliance, internal audit, internal controls, third-party risk, risk events, IT compliance, IT risk, and recently expanded business continuity and operational resilience.
The platform offers a shared data model connects risk, compliance, audit, and IT functions in one place. That means teams can move from committee-level reporting down to individual risks, controls, and incidents without switching systems. Resolver’s AI capabilities support that workflow by assisting with control suggestions, regulatory text summarization, and first-draft control descriptions. The result is reduced manual effort without removing human judgment from the process. That combination of connectivity and automation means fewer gaps and more defensible audit trails when regulators ask questions.
Key capabilities recognized as part of Resolver’s Leader placement include:
- Enterprise risk management with configurable risk taxonomies, continuous assessment, and AI-assisted regulatory change management and control management workflows IT and cyber risk management fully integrated with the core risk platform — not bolted on
- Third-party risk with onboarding, assessments, and control mapping tied to enterprise obligations
- Internal audit supporting audit universe definition, risk-based planning, fieldwork, and templated reporting
- Compliance management with regulatory obligation tracking, AI-assisted control descriptions, and audit-ready reporting
For risk and compliance teams, that integration means fewer gaps, faster reporting cycles, and audit trails that hold up under scrutiny.
